"The Mistress Will Be Right Down, Can I Get You Something To Eat, Some Tea Perhaps." The Butler Asked

"The mistress will be right down, Can I get you something to eat, some tea perhaps." The butler asked as I sat of the vintage couch, trying not to shiver. The furniture being a mish match of styles didn't quiet fit the ascetic of the mansion, then again nothing from the modern era really does.

"No," I say & take out the thermal flask, the cheep tea bag giving it a vagally fruity flavor clamming to be 'Orange Blossom'

"You realize that you don't need to do that," the butler said, dusting another corner of missed matched candle holder "it doesn't work that way with me."

"I'd rather not take the chance." I snipped back, what I learned is that you always need to go back to the original mythology of a creature to know there true abilities, at least to the older ones. Guess what, its all mental. If your a new one then yes, you get the whole package, but I was dealing with a 200 year old vamp & a Fae.

Huffing the browny turned to me and stated with a rather un ingenuity deminer and flatly stating "I am a Browny, a house cleaning spirit, one that is the unseen helper. One that is forced to leave if insulted by the homeowner, That being Lady Matilda good sir. I have no reason or means to harm you."

"Yah, but old Lovecraft took the name eldritch from the old word for Fae" I shoot back, leaning forward to look at them but not into there eyes. "I'm not gong to take chances. I've read the Brothers"

"I'm sure you have', just like how everyone in the modern age has read Homer, or Marks, or Tolkien." they show back, not bothering to look at me as they continued there work by the fireplace.

Sighing I relaxed and mumbled "I'm a F-ing HVAC tech, and got dragged into a world of Magic mumbo jumbo, how the heck am I suppose to react?"

Pausing the butler tilted there head in thought, then said "Like with any other client, respect. You, unlike your fellow craftsmen, do not seek to swindle your clients. You do good work, and are willing to do overtime in order to get the work done right, and not just done."

Taking another sip of my thermos I asked "And her?" I asked my eyes drifting to the stairs, both of knowing the meaning of the subject.

"She has always been well adjusted, but too… naïve" they hesitated, speaking of the home's owner in such a way. "It is why she was turned in the first place, too trusting… And what got her trapped in the first place."

We were going to continue but the intentional creaking of the upstairs door, one that they paid good money for, alerted us to the owner of the house.

"Ah, Matt, so how is everything? Did you figure out what happened to the System, it only twenty years old." The mistress of the house asked, she stiped down to the Victorian equivalent of skimpy wear, a fan in her hand as she tried to bear the overheated (to her) house.

"Not god" I said pulling out my phone & showing her pictures of the Compressor completely blackened "The thing was way to small when it was put in.. Because it was never meant for running all the time, or at such a low temperature, meant only during the height of summer." I didn't know what she expected, the place wasn't supposed to be at a balmy 40 degrease "The system is going to need to be torn out & replaced, your going to have to get something larger, probably a 4 ton. And you need a dehumidifier"

"De-humidifier?" She asked, not familiar with that word

"It takes ingenuity out of the air, so you don't get water condensing off your walls. Dry and Cold instead of Wet and Damp." I stated back "I like the walls drippings," She said "I reminds me of home"

"I's also destroying your house, there pools of water where there shouldn't be, and its warping the wood… I wouldn't be surprised if there's a lot of mold in the walls as well." I said

"That's what a Undead Vampire's home should be" She stated, not getting why I would want to get rid of it..

Sighing I rubbed the bridge of my nose, the supernatural had a.. Interesting taste in dwellings, but they were a lot more accommodating than most people. "Stuff isn't built like it use to be, if this keeps up y'all have to gut the house & re do it in half a year, and it would only last ten after that."

Eyeing me she sighed & walked over to the cabinet pulling out the check, Mumbling i herd her say "What happened with Human ingenuity to make an item last past your death?"

Taking the check in hand I said "Consumerism & short term memories. No one what's seeming good but expensive, they want something cheep that they can throw away. So we can start Sunday, it going to be…."

A Idea that came to mind while reading vampire folklore & Tumbler head-cannon posts, Vampire are usually obsessive, be that at people or things. And we have the trope of them twisting things into grotesque version of there previous interests, such as using blood to paint or twisting human bodies into monstrous statues. What happens to vampire who have more mundane interests/hobbies? What happens when a thousand year old vampire obsessed with candle making do? (Well besides start using a multitude of human bodies as the bace for the candles), Would they do shit like taking ten years to mold & carve a decretive candle in the shape of hyperrealist animal only to toss it into a pile of other previous attempts at a slight flaw?

And that is assuming there hobby is creative, what if the fang barer had something like physical exercise? "Ok, I have my jog around Europe all planed out, It will take three months, ill get back just in time to start laundry, have a quick snack before Elizbeth show's up". I know that they cant cross running water & the sea has a lot of salt so they cant exactly do a "Swimming across the English channel" but between the tips of South America & Africa, but still what sort of cray shit would they get up to?

Then again on the other side, how lazy & bad can they get. The 'I can do it later' mentality but when you have a near endless immoral life you can put stuff off for decades. Imagen trying to get the money for a commission you started in the early 1800's only to find that the entire bloodline is dead, and having to track down any connection, and the only living blood descendent is some HVAC technician living out in nowhere Ohio who knows nothing of his family history other than he was adopted & now has to try and convenes this Vampire that 1)he doesn't want it. 2) cant afford it, and 3) has no room for it in his shack of a house.

More In My 'Missing' Yugioh Fusion Monsters, This Time Union Support. The "Metalizzing Parasite"s Are

More in my 'Missing' Yugioh Fusion monsters, this time Union Support. The "Metalizzing Parasite"s are a strange case, with the both being high level low stat union monsters that have no support, why there isn't a archetype or support for just them is beyond me. Yes the Trap protection is kind of useless, but it fits the them of the other tow giving protection from Spells & Monster Effects.

Metallizing Paraisite – Eliptite

Lv 7/WATER/Aqua/Fusion/Union/Effect

1000/500

1 Union Monster + 1 Monster

Must be first Special Summoned by shuffling the above material from your Field or GY into your deck. One per turn, you can attach a Non-Light Non-Machine Union monster from your deck to a Monster you control that it can equip to, except this monster. Once per turn, you can either: Target 1 monster you control; equip this card to that target, OR: Unequip this card and Special Summon it. The equipped monster is unaffected by the effects of Trap Cards your opponent controls.

Found this in my backlog & realize I have lost the Effect it would have, I think it was a payoff to having Normal/Noneffect Fusion Monsters or Just Normal/Noneffect extradeck monsters. It is an Evolution of the old Normal/Noneffect fusion monster Fusionist (With the early swirly abstract Background!), a staple of early 5d's era where you could summon it with Instant Fusion, Summon Junk Synchron, get a level 2 from the graveyard & go into Stardust Dragon or other high level Synchro Monster...

I Had An Idea For A Story So Meet My Transformers OC “BlitzTalon”

I had an idea for a story so meet my Transformers OC “BlitzTalon”

Before you comment her hands being wrong is part of her backstory, I was inspired by a rather grim fanfic that shows the point of view of a cold-cast clone during the days before the "Great War". Basically the ruff of her backstory is that she was apart of the Counsel's air guard but when she started criticizing them they decided to take some measures, and unfortunately the bot who was doing the Empurata procedure had a personal vendetta against her so removed only most of the face so the only expression she could ever give was a blank frown as well as switched her hands around so she couldn't do tasks on her own, so that she would always be reliant on them. She joined up with the Decepticons at the start of the war and strangled her tormenter, but eventually she left there ranks under the guise of seeking a new supply of Energon off in the cosmoses, and never looked back. Why is she an old two-engine bomber? because I like the astatic... Ok for a story reason she used an old aircraft at the bottom of the sea, how was she suposto know that this organics have advanced massively in such a sort amount of time!

A short story that came to mind after writing the above:

"You wright historical Victorian supernatural murder mystery novels?" I asked, the woman could have been a double for Clara Bow, wearing a real fir coat as she sat at her typewriter.

"To me they weren't historical, but yes, I do." Her voice smooth and seductive, a voce that was confusingly half stereotypical British half vaguely eastern European accent that reminded me of a prowling large cat.

"So due to your vampiric abilities you are able to publish all of these in a year." I stated, the abilities to not get tired was a heck of a thing, then again getting up at six everyday and going to bed dam-near midnight for years was probably more soul crushing than having no soul.

Confused she stopped her work, turning her head "What? God no, I get one done about a year, writing is hard."

"Huuuu..?? You put out 12 full lenght novels last year, any you have for the last 10 years?" I stammered out, that cant be right, your a vampire, you didn't have to worry about making money, having to commute to your work, or cleaning your neo-gothic mansion thanks to your butler.

"Those? Those are just the backlog, not a who lot else to do when your trapped under a collapse consecrated burial ground." She stated going back to work, her finger movements slower, her face scrunching trying to decide on the next word.

"?????"

"I don't know how others are able to do it, Sometimes I wonder if they are actually human, Its like saying that humans have made it to the moon." She said half compilated.

A long moment of stunned silence passed with the occasional ticking of keys, my brain slowly began to reboot. Stupidly the first thing out of my mouth was "… We have… 50 years ago.."

Whipping her head around I could hear the sonic crash as she looked at me as a Deer would look at headlights. "YOU WHAT? I thought that was all Science fiction, Why haven't I herd about this!?" she all but screamed

"We… we left.." I stammered out, stunned by they statement

Slowly blinking, she took a shawl breath that she didn't need to, "You.. Left?.. Why?" She asked, looking about half a mind to jump at me if I didn't answer.

"We.. As in older folks with more power, decided that it wasn't worth the cost, you know the old 'Why should we spend money on useless things when there are people in need here?" I said, the stupid statement, not that the statement was stupid but it was true and that was what was stupid, mostly because that money was embezzled by nameless government alphabet soup.

"So you didn't encounter monsters from beyond the stars?" She asked

"No, Aliens don't… Scratch that, they probably do exist, Vampire & Fae exist, probably do aliens." he said with the new found perspective of 'Yah, its real alright'

"Fae don't exist, what sort of lune do you take me for?" She stated incredulity with the upmost confidence turning back to her work Looking over at the obviously Brownie butler, they look back with a smile only a devil or a used car salesman could have, "I have a job, and she's none the wiser." they said with a shrug of 'What are you going to do. "Would you like tea?"

A Idea that came to mind while reading vampire folklore & Tumbler head-cannon posts, Vampire are usually obsessive, be that at people or things. And we have the trope of them twisting things into grotesque version of there previous interests, such as using blood to paint or twisting human bodies into monstrous statues.
